Chapter 55: Su Muyu Strikes It Rich!

On the arena.

The whip in Su Muyu’s hand was like a fiercely poisonous python, the whip’s shadow shuttling between the arena.

Meanwhile, Bai Qingzhao kept retreating.

Originally, the Sword Immortal, who should have been most adept at attacking, now could only defend. The longsword in Bai Qingzhao’s hand continuously blocked Su Muyu’s strikes.

"Can you predict my swordsmanship trajectory? This is your talent!"

Bai Qingzhao saw Su Muyu, almost like foresight, strike at the weak points of her longsword every time.

The main issue was that her current level wasn’t high enough, so her professional abilities weren’t strong enough, and she even needed the longsword in her hand to utilize many powers.

Su Muyu’s level was higher than hers, her skills stronger, and she hadn’t even used her trump card, that terrifying Flame Demon.

Moreover.

Su Muyu actually had this instinctive combat ability, almost like a foresight talent.

Su Muyu’s strength was over the top, even considered top 1 in this region.

If it weren’t for Yan City First High School using special methods to seal seventy percent of Su Muyu’s power.

Su Muyu might not need to summon that terrifying Flame Demon...

What terrifying existence exactly is this year’s Shencheng First High School!

It’s one thing to have Su Muyu, but behind her was an even more terrifying presence, an invincible Great Demon King.

Back when Shen Fei summoned that Giant.

Her profession passive skill, Sword Heart Insight, told her that this Giant’s power was far beyond hers.

Su Muyu pursed her lips without answering, only making her magic even more explosive.

She constantly honed her mastery of the Demon Warlock profession with her talent.

Moreover, with her teacher’s personal guidance, her control over battle experience was certainly above the others.

Her opposition wasn’t Bai Qingzhao and the others, but rather the formidable opponents of this year’s young Heavenly Prides.

Her goal was to become the valedictorian, but now, it might need to change—to rank second.

Su Muyu applied a heavy technique, adding the power of the Demon Explosion Technique to the Demon Whip.

Bai Qingzhao was blasted several steps back by the successive explosions. During this time...

"Flame Demon!"

Flames appeared in Su Muyu’s hand, the terrifying heatwave sweeping out from her palm.

Flame Demon Commander, descend!

Without the seventy percent power reduction, the might of an epic-level summoned beast of the same level was fully unleashed, forcefully raising the surrounding temperature by two or three degrees.

Bai Qingzhao’s expression immediately stiffened, the cool look turning dazed. Is this Su Muyu’s full power?

This towering figure, terrifying heatwave.

"Fiery Roar!"

Instantly, the endless heatwave gathered in the Flame Demon Commander’s mouth, turning into a thick magma column that spewed toward Bai Qingzhao. The speed was so fast it left only a red streak in the air.

"I admit defeat!"

Bai Qingzhao immediately retreated off the arena, the magma hitting the arena making a ’sizzling’ sound.

Su Muyu said lightly, "Continue."

"Qinghe First High School has conceded!"

Her teammates couldn’t defeat Su Muyu, and even if they did, they would still face that overwhelming existence.

The other team members had no objections.

Let alone winning or not, winning wouldn’t matter.

Su Muyu canceled the Flame Demon Commander skill. It was a summoning skill, not a summoned beast, so she couldn’t maintain it for long.

For a Summoner’s summoned beast, only the moment of summoning consumes a lot of mental energy.

Once summoned, it no longer consumes energy, somewhat like passive skills.

"The personal competition rankings are out, the points have been incorporated into each school’s ranking..."

"The team competition will take place tomorrow, and it will be held outside Yuncheng, so the audience won’t be able to attend, but there will be a live broadcast! Everyone can watch it in real time on Yuncheng Satellite TV!"

"Until next time!"

The principal of Yuncheng First High School, Yun Tianming, stepped onto one of the arenas, his voice echoing throughout the gymnasium. Today’s personal competition was quite perfect.

There was just one unexpected event, not a big problem.

As for Yuncheng First High School’s performance, well... Yuncheng hosted this time because it’s relatively close to each city.

They got first dibs.

As for next time, it’s likely to be Shencheng.

Aside from the first time, the process will be smoother in subsequent times.

It’s decided that whoever takes first place will host the exchange competition.

The audience left the venue in an orderly manner, thoroughly enjoying today’s competition. But what stood out most was the moment when Shen Fei summoned the Vast Heaven Venerable.

And the four from Shencheng First High School, under Wang Fugui and Fang Yuan’s guidance, went to the most famous hotel in Yun City, and Wang Xun was quite prudent.

When Shen Fei said they would eat there in the evening.

Wang Xun had already booked a private room during the competition.

This meal was quite normal, with nothing notable happening.

After eating, as Shen Fei intended to pay the bill, Su Muyu smoothly took out a card and settled it.

"Am I becoming a kept man?"

Shen Fei touched Su Muyu’s head, smiling as he spoke.

"I have money, and Shen Fei, you also have to support three summoned beasts. You take care of the beasts, and I’ll take care of you. Hehehe~"

Su Muyu’s head rested against Shen Fei’s arm.

Fang Yuan looked at the public display of affection between Shen Fei and Su Muyu, and said irritably, "Do that back at the hotel if you want to be lovey-dovey, 7 AM tomorrow.

Go downstairs, we’re heading to that instance entrance together."

"Okay!"

...

Back at the hotel.

It was still Empress and Cangtian, or rather Stabbing Immortal, in one room, while Shen Fei and Su Muyu returned to another room.

"Shen Fei, I’m going to take a bath first."

"Wait, let’s open the boxes first. I almost forgot about this."

Shen Fei suddenly saw three boxes appear in front of him; they were the First Clear Treasure Boxes from the Flame Demon Rift.

Clearing solo allowed only one box, but the rewards would be greater than going with five, so those with the ability often go in solo for the first clear.

"Is this the box from the Flame Demon Rift? You haven’t opened it yet?"

Su Muyu tossed the clothes she took from her professional backpack onto the bed.

"You open this, the Hell Level one, while I open these two."

Shen Fei pointed to the Bronze Treasure Chest and the Silver Treasure Chest, but the one from Hell had a faint golden glow, not dazzling.

Low-key luxury with connotation.

"Sure!"

Su Muyu was also full of excitement, she hadn’t opened a First Clear Treasure Box before; they somewhat relied on luck.

If you didn’t find an instance with no first clear record.

You might never get a First Clear Treasure Box in your lifetime.

"Huh? Lord’s Equipment, Flame Demon Gloves? And ten Energy Crystals, plus two pieces of Rare Equipment, which I’ll give to Little Cang to consume later.

The first clear rewards are quite substantial!"

Shen Fei looked at what he got from the Bronze Treasure Chest. Energy Crystals maintain the instance’s operation, and they sell quite well, while the Flame Demon Gloves.

A combat profession equipment usable at level fifteen, containing two skills.

Unfortunately, not suitable for the Giant; he knew that only equipment adjusts with the user’s body size when it’s a characteristic, not all equipment is the same.

If the Vast Heaven Venerable forcibly used the equipment, it would quickly wear it out.

Shen Fei hadn’t opened the Silver Treasure Chest yet.

In an instant, a streak of red light appeared out of the corner of his eye.

"Hmm? Muyu, you’ve hit red!"

"Hmm?"

Su Muyu couldn’t help but look at her palm, realizing she was a Little Red Hand?
